Beckett loses a no-hitter in seventh
Josh Beckett did not give up a hit until two out in the seventh inning, and David Ortiz hit a two-run double, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 10-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.
The Red Sox lost Kevin Youkilis to a freak injury in the eighth inning. Youkilis was stretching for a throw at first when Josh Anderson appeared to step on the back of his right ankle.
Beckett (6-2) gave up a single to Curtis Granderson in the seventh to end the no-hit bid. Beckett retired 18 straight batters after walking Placido Polanco with one out in the first until he walked Magglio Ordonez with one out in the seventh. After Miguel Cabrera flied out, Granderson singled to right.
